Llama Mini-Max Sub compact held open

rogertc1 · July 20, 2008, 02:43 PM

Llama Min-Max Sub Compact. 10 + 1 capacity. All 1911 style except for a side extractor like S&W. Closer to a Para Ordance.
This gun is close to a para Ordenance. I just got it used for $300. Grreat shape with box and papers. 2004 production.
When I shot the gun after the 2nd time the slide would go back to the hold open lever and stay open. release the lever it would go a couple rounds and lock open again.
I can see some brass on the hold oven lever above where it contacts the magazine. Just shooting Winchester ball form Walmart.
Any ideals?

Thanks

Sir;
It could be that the slide stop is engaging - when the stop is in the rest position and the slide closed sometimes we insert a drill through the spring tube and just slightly dimple the slide stop so it will not go into slide stop when firing.
